can paypal check and verify to buyer that sellers payment is really on hold due to(not paid) fees?

Some guy wanted to buy mz artwork and asked for trust fee since the amount of money is pretty big.

I paid the trust fee and now he is demanding another payment because the paypal put him on hold till the another fee is paid.

Is there anything that can be done from paypal to confirm this to me?

You never pay any upfront fee as a seller.

Ignore scammers that send fake Paypal emails telling you that you need to pay an upfront fee to verify/upgrade/or any other reason to 'accept' a payment.

You would certainly never have to send funds via another payment processor/bitcoins/ or tokens/vouchers of any sort.

Any fee is auto deducted by Paypal at the same instant the remainder of the payment is credited to your Paypal account balance.

No funds in your balance = you have not yet been paid, even pending/held payments will still show in your Paypal account activity.
